in last weekend's Iowa/OSU game, the Hawkeyes executed a fake FG play in which the snapper caught a pass from the holder. i've tried including a link below if you haven't seen the play. my question is this, how is the snapper considered an eligible receiver on a play like this? my understanding has always been that the only folks eligible to catch a pass were the two players on either end of the LOS and anybody not lined up on the line of scrimmage. is my understanding not correct and/or is there something different about FG/special team plays? feel like i'm missing something really simple/stupid.....story of my life
